Fatherhood, Friendships, and Finding Balance with Max Kirchoff

In this Father’s Day episode, Emily and Jamie sit down with Max Kirchoff, a father of two and facilitator of Nurture’s Dad Support Group, to explore the multifaceted journey of fatherhood. Max shares his insights on being a father, friend, and partner, highlighting the distinct ways men and women approach relationships and parenting. The conversation delves into the challenges men face in forming meaningful friendships and the importance of intentionality building lasting bonds. They discuss how societal expectations shape men's roles in work, family, and personal relationships. Max shares how he stays intentional and present when spending time with his kids, and emphasizes the value of building relationships and having a “third place” outside of work and home to foster meaningful connections and a sense of community.

In this week’s Q&A segment, Emily and Jamie discuss a question asking whether an infant can receive tylenol or motrin labeled as “Children’s.”
